The space saving Christmas tree

Christmas is coming and how nice it would be to have one of those huge trees weighed down with lights and decorations. But if you live in a small space it might be hard to place a full-size spruce. But never fear, there are other ways to build a large Christmas tree which can fit almost any place. The IKEA LIAMARIA is discontinued but you may be able to find it Amazon or eBay. Read more.

Sliding Bookcase Doors KALLAX hack to divide your rooms

I replaced single-glazed sliding doors that divided the sitting room and dining room with a sliding KALLAX bookcase. For one “door”, I used two 2×2 cubes and one 2×1 unit. As we already owned 4 separate KALLAX 2×2 cubes and they seemed to be exactly the same width as the internal doors, we thought it might be possible to stack them. With one additional 2×1 KALLAX they almost matched the height of the internal doors. Sliding KALLAX bookcase doors in closed position First, still a work in progress but let us show you how it looks from the dining room, when the units are pushed together to close up the doorway. And the units pushed apart to enter the living room. We can access the storage cubes from both sides — from the dining or living room — which is so very useful.
